Frequently Asked Questions
- Ask Away! What's Crossfit? Can you do it? How do you get started? If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound? Are you doing what you were meant to do in life? The answers to all (well, most) of your questions!
- 1. These workouts sound gnarly and impossible. Do you have to be an Olympic athlete do to Crossfit?
- a. No! All Crossfit workouts are scalable. Can’t do pullups? We have an alternative. Can’t deadlift 385#? Don’t worry- start with 10#, and if you stick with it, you’ll watch your strength grow exponentially. Coaches are more than willing to work with you to adapt the day’s WOD to challenge you at a level you can handle.
- 2. Speaking of WOD’s, what’s a WOD?
- a. You’ll find Crossfit has its own lingo. The WOD is the Workout of the Day, which changes daily. Some days are single modality (one type of exercise, e.g. lifting or cardio), others are dual modality (e.g. cardio and body weight (“gymnastic”) exercises or lifting), while still others are triple modality (cardiovascular, gymnastic, and lifting). WODs are typically for time, for rounds, or for weight, meaning: for time- pretty self explanatory, the WOD will say something like “Five rounds for time of…”; for rounds- as many rounds as you can complete in a given time period; for weight- again, self explanatory- you’re going for the heaviest weight you can lift safely and successfully.
- 3. Does everybody do everything in unison, like step-aerobics?
- a. Nope. You’re pushing yourself at your own pace- trying to be as fast as you can, or complete as many rounds as you can. You’ll still be working out with other people in class, but they may finish before or after you.
- 4. But what if I finish last?
- a. So what? You did it right? DFL>DNF>DNS. Odds are that you are going to be last at some point, whether it’s because you are having a bad day or what we are doing that day isn’t your strong suit. But the point is, you came in, you tried, and you put yourself out there (rather than staying home and eating doughnuts). You’ll find that everyone who Crossfits has respect for anyone else who does- it doesn’t matter if it takes you 5 minutes or half an hour to do something- we’re all in this together.
- 5. What the heck does DFL>DNF>DNS mean?
- a. Dead F*cking Last beats Did Not Finish beats Did Not Start. It’s the Crossfit360 motto.
- 6. Who does Crossfit? Am I going to fit in, or will I be the only (female, male, over 40, LE officer, firefighter, overweight, underweight, superfit, unfit, good-looking, bad-looking, insert adjective of your choice) person there?
- a. Everybody can do Crossfit- we get people from all walks of life (seriously). Some of us are superfit, some of us have set a goal to become superfit, and some of us just want to not suck at life, as they say over at Crossfit One World in northern California. We have men, women, police officers, students, older adults, overweight people, underweight people, and people from all walks of life and backgrounds- some are former or current athletes, while some have never played sports. And hey- everyone at our gym is good-looking!
- 7. How does this fit with Krav Maga and Thai Boxing?
- a. Crossfit is a great compliment to our other programs because it emphasizes explosive power, in addition to 10 other components of fitness. Chances are, if you either elect to put yourself in the ring or find yourself in a street fight, you’ll be doing something very intense for a relatively short duration. That is Crossfit! For example, a police officer frequently won’t chase a suspect for 10 miles. So why train to run 10 miles? Why not train to run 2 miles FAST? Real life doesn’t involve bicep curls (well, unless you live in a frat house), elliptical machines, and giving your leg muscles a day off every other day. So why would you exercise that way?
- 8. Why do you have rest days/skill days/make up day? What’s the reason for that?
- a. One of the recommended Crossfit splits is 5 on, 2 off, which is the split we use at our gym. We realize that because of work, life, interpretive dance classes, etc. that you might miss a work out on a weekday, or that 5 on, 2 off might not work for you for other reasons. Since we predict you’ll turn into a workout junkie, you’ll be disappointed when you miss a WOD. So the Saturday class is the day we give you to make up a missed workout the previous week. Don’t feel like it, but still want to come in on a Saturday? That’s OK- make it a skill day, and use it to focus on a weak area, like running, pullups, muscle-ups, handstand pushups, you name it. Practice a few dozen of those, plus your warm up, and there’s your workout. We find that the exercises that are tougher for people to execute don’t come up often enough to allow people to focus on them, and when you’re doing the WOD for time, it’s often hard to also focus on learning.

59's done wendy
.59. End of the fifties... it's the beginning of a new adventure!
On Sat I will be earning a living (so PESKY). I'm bummed about missing out on seeing Kim & the girls kicking huge amounts of ass. I shall be there in spirit... feel the vibration! Oh no, do I feel a horrible video coming on? :-)
Have a lovely weekend, ya'll!
Here's a BAD music video for you Carmen.
I love that gangs in music videos are completely interracial, which proves that gangs are the solution to racism. Yes, gangs are responsible for lots of violence ... and ensemble dancing ... but given this socially significant byproduct, I guess we have to take the good with the ... bad.
interracial gang member's? I don't know about that moose, They look like a bunch of interracial Gay Couples who are not responsible for a lot crime.
Well I was thinking of trying to make the 11 o'clock workout today now that my moms returned home but since it is all freek'n running I think I'll stay home instesd and poke my eyeballs with hot pokers. J
J- whoever you are- BOOOOO!!!! If you hate to do something or aren't good at it- that's exactly why you should.
Jenn
59
I run about as fast as a Sand Dollar.
See ya there
J. C'mon. I hid one of those l'il electric scooters in the alley.
Jahn,
Here you go:
Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream
1 cup cashews
2 cups water
¼ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pinch celtic sea salt
1. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend on high speed
2. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to instructions
3. Serve
Serves 4
Just thought I'd post it instead of reply personally, since we may have others who are interested. :)
That's right Dr. J: I am no "run fan," but that's exactly why I'm going to do it (just as soon as I get back from Ventura today -- AND I PROMISE I WILL DO IT AND POST MY TIMES! Though I must admit that the hot poker alternative sounds mighty tempting.)
And thank you, Jason H., for enlightening us to the fact that interracial gay couples are not responsible for crime.
So you are saying there are two more reasons to support gay marriage: it minimizes racism and crime? I feel so enlightened on this issue now that I'm almost white! Although I guess it's not for me, since I'm a criminal who dislikes all races (except for the 100 meter dash with hurdles), I have to say I have learned something new, and Thank You for making that excellent point. Overturn Prop 8! :-)

For my last round today i stashed a bike in the alley.
Don't worry Jay, you can always run and then poke out your eyes.
Well, as you can see by my times I just finished the run. I think I saw you guys locking up the building on one of my passes. Is that why you left the stop watch hanging on the wall?
(FYI, I looked it up. Sand Dollars are officially the slowest creature on the planet).
I thought it was funny.
58's and 59's done. And I finally made up my 55's.
ROCK ON CF360!
I'll have to remember to park the Vespa around the corner on run day. That is such a great idea! If I'm going to run it is either going to be playing basketball or because someone is chasing me with a gun. I stand by my decision.
Did that post come over, it's hard to see 8-)!
59s
Moose rant=too funny.
Jahn
53's, 54's, 55's, and 56's are done. So much for not falling behind.
